    Yeah, a pipedream.
    Yes, that is a very good one. Though it did have me singing "Man In Motion" for the next two weeks.

      Not annoying, I love the Maya Angelou Human Family commercial by Apple.

            I'll be honest. Drug commercials in general make me angry. If we ever decide to get serious about limiting first amendment rights in this country, that's the first place I'd start.

            Who, other than drug companies and their stockholders, actually think it's a good idea that the prescribing of pharmaceuticals should be based upon marketing to the end user? People listen to those ads and think yeah, that drug would be good for me, then go running to their doctor. Meanwhile the doctor is caught between a patient demanding a drug and lawyers second guessing every decision, so yeah, why not, here's the prescription. Complete B.S.
            That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

              In Europe the pharmaceuticals aren't allowed to market to individuals. Just one more reason streaming shows from England beats watching network TV here in the States.

                  In the not annoying category:

                  Arby's Fresh Prince remix.

                  However, I think their Pepsi commercial from a couple years back is still on top.

                      The Bill Cowher "life and football" ads are getting annoying.

                      For one, they're being overused. Not only repeating many times on the same program, but also on multiple channels. The other night I flipped channels to avoid it, but it was being played on the channel I flipped to.

                      And while he's managed to show some sense of humor on football studio panels, as an actor he's too stiff for the commercial to be effective, unless the commercial poked fun at him for being so stiff.

                        That stupid car commercial with the random fox clip. It's one of the worst I've ever seen.

                          I don't like the Mercedes Benz commercial in which the father is driving his son to a movie theater in a snowstorm, apparently so that the son can meet his date there.
                          -- the roads are nearly impassible yet the theater is going to be open???
                          -- no cell phones?

                              Impassable? Hahahaha, not close. I saw that commercial, and I've regularly driven through worse. No reason for a theatre to close for that kind of thing.

                                The Dan Band commercials during March Madness are dumb. Seriously, I think they missed that fad by about 10 years.

                                The Barkley/SamJackson/SpikeLee ones, though, are still great. Especially Steaks On A Plane.
